Going to add this to the website.
YES! Pecon7's english lesson.

Going to add this to the website.

Let me add a couple more sections before, please.

Let me add a couple more sections before, please.
Don't forget the "and then" problem.

http://bossbattles.pecon.us/admincenter/tips.html

I'll update with the new sections you were going to add when you say you're totally done.

Added a couple more sections. I think that's all.

This might be common sense, but here's a little extra:

Single: One
Double: Two
Triple: Three
Quadruple: Four

Couple: Two
Few: Three to five

I just fully read that and now understand SEVERAL mistake I made. I broke, essentially, all 5 Don'ts. Fail.

Added a couple more sections. I think that's all.
I take back everything I've ever said, Darkness. I'm sorry.

"Whats" is a plural of "What".

When is "What" ever plural?


When is "What" ever plural?
"I heard several whats come from the audience, but I paid no mind."

When is "What" ever plural?



"There are three whats in that sentence."

By the way, here's a snippet from a small section of a book I read once:

"Hello." His father said, "I am here."

It should have been:

"Hello," his father said, "I am here."

Notice how there is a comma when the main sentence continues after the quote, and if it ends there is a period.

More quote magic:

Wrong:

The witness said, "He said, "I remember.""

Right:

The witness said, "He said, 'I remember.'"

A ' for a quote inside a quote, and a " for the outer quotes.

"There are three whats in that sentence."

"I heard several whats come from the audience, but I paid no mind."

Owned.

-Book Snippet-
It's funny on News Channels, but tear-jerking in books.

EDIT: I just thought of a another one. When using a quote that ends your sentence, you must still put the mark on the INSIDE of the quotation, NOT on the outside.
Wrong: I said, "There was lots of fun on the beach".
Right: I said, "There was lots of fun on the beach."

I originally made half of that because of some quotes in the DayZ topic:

1000's? who in their right mind even spawn that many?
Look at the pic tat as at-lest 40 or 50 zombies

And it got so long I renamed it "Admin Application Grammar Tips" and moved it here.

Previous Experience Administrating: Mantax64's sever, Jack Sparrow (indyjones)'s server, and Who wants chocolate?'s server.
Who recommends you?: Mantax64 and megamanxzero99
Why  should I accept you? (Please elaborate): I am not a badmin, I don't  abuse admin (because my brother doesn't like me to), admins trust me  when I'm an admin in a server, I have lots of building ideas, and I LOVE  Pecon7's Boss Battles!
Your Timezone/Region: CDT (Texas)
Gizmo: Typical rubbish app, needs more flavor flave

Who  recommends you?: Crown (2143), Darren  (7893), Armageddon (118), Owl  (17016), Nobot (2127), Cat123 (23462),  Legend Of Tacos (12458), Ace2343  (10677),  Greek2me (11902), Sponge  (6408), Gameking (16763), AeroMcFly  (16258), Dr.shoe... (29736) Danny  Boy (3166)
Why should I accept you?: I am very good  with running a  server. I've hosted a few before that have gotten very large amounts of  players. For example one is my current Deathcube server that has only  been progressing in server players. I also could help make sure that it  stays under  control. I could also be a huge contributer to your server.  I always plan to play on this  amazing server no matter what. I look to  not get the admin and brag that  I have it, I want to do what is right  and help make the server one of  the best there is in Blockland. Modesty  is a great trait to have for this kind of request but I plan to use  modesty only to the point where I won't let it interfere with my work on  enforcing the rules on your server.

Previous Experience Administrating:Creeper Assissian's Server,Marco The Epic's DeathMatch Server.
Who Recommends You:Creeper Assissian,Marco The Epic
Why  Should I Accept You:You should accept me because after having past  experience as Admin,I learned that people only became Admin for  respecting the rules and helping others while on the  server.Otherwise,people would just ignore those who are not discipline.I  can help edit objects and items that seem to have problems  functioning.As an Admin,I have respeced all players and played fairly.I  am not such a good builder on new designs though,I hope that whatever I  have to build will be easy.

Who recommends you?: EpicMuffin, Deoxys And One Noob, Adam Savage, Blockhead31735, AwesomeEric
Why should  I accept you? (Please elaborate): You should accept me because I have  had a lot of experience at administrating. Every host I have been admin  for would recommend me. I am very knowledgeable at keeping large masses  of players under control. I will attend all admin meetings, keep in  touch, and maintain a good rep. I also am experienced at  hosting different types of servers. I have hosted simple ideas such as  Crumble DMs to more complicated such as Slayer gamemodes and Salvage and  on everyone, I made sure it was peaceful. I hope you will consider my  admin application and I would be a great addition to the admin team of  your server. I will be happy with any decision you make and I will  respect your choice.

Name: Infested
Blockland ID: 15958
Previous Experience Administrating:  I haven't Administrated in any MAJOR servers, but some of my friends  usually host Non-Dedicated servers that could usually have a lot of  players.  Some examples: FreeBuilds, Call of Duty, Miltary RP, Family  RP, etc.
Who recommends you?:  xXGameXx (ID: 31212), Potammies  (ID:26632), Bandolier (ID: 14071), Gabe Duncan (ID: 9179)...Other  friends host, I'm just not sure if they recommend me or not ;)
Why Should I Accept You?:  Even though I haven't been Admin on any big servers, I still DO know  how to be an appropriate Admin.  I've been admin on other games (doesn't  necessarily mean Minecraft ;p) so I know the different types of people.   If you ask some of my friends, I will never turn my back or be a [so  called] badmin.  I have given a few suggestions, though I guess Jetz  didn't think it would work out ;p.  I have been playing this server for  probably about a month or so, so I know a lot about the server.  So if  anyone had a question, I would be more than happy to help them out ;).   I'm 16 years old, so I know how to deal with fights, so I will be able  to easily settle fights between players. I'm usually on Blockland about  4-6 hours a day (lifeless) and most of that time is spent on Pecon's  Boss Battles.  I do not want admin just to brag and abuse my powers, I  would like admin because I love to help out other players, and make sure  the server is very calm.  I have also experienced people who try to  ruin the server, so I know very well how to deal with situations like  those. I also have a good sense of humor, so I know when someone is just  kidding around or is serious (ex: calling a player a richard).  I hate to  cheat, because whats the fun of that?  If other admins tell me to do  something, I'll be sure to do it :).

BL_ID: 22088
Timezone: EST
Previous Experience Administrating: All of the servers of the people who recommended me.
Who recommends you?: Ben Grapevine (The)Owl Arekan YoungRotations (He's banned at the time, but I will send a picture of him saying he recommends me over Blockland/Steam)
Why should I accept you? (Please elaborate):  I'm not going to tell you that I'm going to make your server the best  ever or give everyone cookies if you accept me. Because that's not  realistic. I'm not going to be horrible, though; I'm going to try my  hardest at everything I do on this server. I will stop most fights, and I  don't expect to be given any special features, other than moderation  privileges. I will be loyal to the host and respect other admins, even  if they become admins later than I do. I'm not going to be on every  second of every day, but I'm going to try to be on as much as I can.  Thank you for your time.
Gizmo: I like Ben but with the experience I hate when people say stuff like that, even though it isn't completely vague. Also 3 servers isn't all that great.

Why should I accept you?:  You should accept me because I am on server a lot of my day, so I will  be available for moderating almost any time any day. I want to  contribute to the server without spending my money. A lot of your admins  are inactive. I plan to work hard at being a good admin. I do not act  out of my emotions to other players. I want to help with problems that  only an admin can fix. Most of the admins on the server do not enforce  the rules as well as they should, I plan to do better than them. I want  to possibly use my amature modeling skills to help with the development  of the server. I am more of a serious person, not one the fools around.

Previous Experience Administrating:  My servers, Barnabas', Jorgur's, Heedicalking's, Iban's, Xang's, Jaydee's, Space Guy's, Tails', and more. 
Who recommends you?:   I haven't asked anyone if they will recommend me as admin by posting  in the thread saying they do.  If someone wants to recommend me after  seeing my application they are free to do so.  I don't think asking  friends to recommend me means I'm a good admin.
Why should I accept you? (Please elaborate):   I've had a pretty good amount of experience administrating servers.   I've decided to apply for admin because I spend quite a lot of time  jumping on this server (as regular players probably know) and I'd like  to help keep it in line.  I'm pretty tolerant and don't ban or kick  much.  I make my own add-ons every now and then (definitely more of a  modeler than a scripter) and could probably contribute graphic work if  ever needed (decals, faces, logos, etc.).
